Why is the demand for illegal drugs so high in America?

Everything he says he's done are things he only did because Trump forced him to do it. The Canadian government is one of the world's largest drug dealers and criminal organizations.

1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.

Trudeau was unwilling to help secure the border and stop drugs entering the US. \nWhy ?

take back everything you instated for trump with border security and let them deal with there own drug problems... and start refusing american goods at the border... tell them we only pay a set amount or send it back! when the US asks why we did it we can tell them it was to cover the costs of tarriffs that trump thinks the government pays... well lets make his words ring true at their expense!

China almost owns most of Canada. Why is Justin Trudeau not talking about the drug factories that they have inside Canada?

How about you get your drug problem under control instead of retaliation.

I'm Canadian and trudeau is so full of crap when he talks, trudeau hasn't done crap to improve our military. He knows what he needs to do to prevent these tariffs but he still wanted free drugs to cross the border same with illegals, Trudeau doesnt care about canadians at all

Yep, CNN are on drugs folks.

I'm glad Canada amped up their border to STOP ? illegal drugs and immigrants who traffick them.....\nPresident Trump's really going to have to have another meeting with Trudeau.....\nThat's how you keep the peace ✌️

Stop the drugs you wouldn’t have them dumbass

You don’t want to see us hurt? You allowed drugs to pour into the us and did nothing about it!

Why won’t Canada just do more to stop the drugs coming in the US there won’t be any terrifs

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

According to national data, 100% of drug turnover in the world, 80% is consumed by the USA. I wonder how they get there? :)))

The guy speaking is also a drug dealer he mad there going to cut in his personal money

Everyone knows this guy is a weasel, and the one he put in charge of the border is running the illegal drug trade crossing into our border….SMFH

For the racist Americans who chose an idiot who has the business finesse of a 5 year old ( bankrupted a casino where the house always wins...Damn!!!) sit back and cheer!! If you think ? the rich will bale you out then you are the biggest of A-holes. Enjoy the clown ? show and kudos to Canada!!!! Note: the key to drug abuse is not the drugs BUT the drug users and abusers. That's just a distraction people!! ??

How many containers, coming into the country, do we check?......Trudeau's not doing enough to battle drugs and guns coming into this country. And it shouldn't take Trump pulling this tariff action to get Trudeau motivated.

This isn't about Fentanyl . If it was, trump would learn that America has been selling guns to the drug cartels. That needs to be changed right away. But trump won't listen to anyone because he is stupid.

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

Congress and Biden approved grants of 350 millions at least x2 while Hawaiians lost their homes and got 300dol from the government for assistance, North Carolina Republicans were ignored if they had any political signs and many left homeless, California also many left lost their lives and left homeless. The previous government didnt care about its Citizens. Trump is looking out for Americans and Americans tax payer money. Canada and mexico did have open borders for illegal immigration and drugs to come in. Zelensky thinks that Americans work for him and that he can come whenever he wants and demand not just money weapons but troop involvement.

You dont scare us Justin. We're not truckers. You cant freeze our money. Stop illegal immigrants and drugs from entering our nation.

Finaly our prime minister stands for Canada and says straight and clear exactly how it is. This is disgusting, we knew from the start the drugs are just a lie and pretext of the clown to make us join or annex Canada but WE WILL NEVER NEVER GIVE UP !! 1

Republicans don't care about fentanyl. The drug wars were always about money and politics. Democrats just a bit better.

The law enforcement agency leadership in the United States that Canada is working with, involving drug trafficking and organized crime , is being fired and let go by the MAGA administration?

how about the hells angels?????? and all the drugs involved with them

we have fertilizer here !!!!!!! and it's probably better and drugs are coming from you from China cause he's paying you , isn't he and you are only saying this shit cause he put you in your place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We keep talking about keeping drugs out of America. What are the Americans doing to stop the flow of coke and guns flowing into Canada ? Not a damn thing \nMango Mussolini is the biggest loser ever

Thank you PM Trudeau! I am a US citizen, residing in a predominantly red state(NC). I do not believe for one moment that our President is the least bit concerned with illegal drugs crossing from your country. I am very concerned about what is happening in my country.

doews trump think we just let people threw the bofder they are very clever at smuggling the usa isnt doing anything to secure our border how many guns and drugs come onto canada oh that doesnt count right all that counts is america thats there problem everything is about them and we will win trump you can never beat us

While President chose to do this because you're allowing criminals and drugs that are causing harm to our country through your border why won't you just stop and fix your border Instead. Because it doesn't meet with your real true plans

_So, The Orange Liar replaced NAFTA with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2020. Which was designed to create a fairer trading system between the 3 countries. Wasn't THAT supposed to make things better?_\n\n*Fentanyl was first synthesized in 1959 by a Belgian chemist and later marketed as an intravenous analgesic drug, Sublimaze. While Mexico and China are the primary source countries for fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked directly into the United States, India is emerging as a source for finished fentanyl powder and fentanyl precursor chemicals.*

canada has become a super lab fentynal drug supplier and turdeau is ok with that , is he making deals with the cartel over his canadian citizens??? make it make sense !!!

I live in the middle of the country, 416,000 mortgage, stay at home wife with 2 young kids.\n\nWe are further and further into massive date.\n\nThis on a salary of 145,000\n\nYes it's personal info, but we all need to be more honest about this and show each other the complete disaster that we are all heading towards.\n\nChild preschool alone for me, being a 'successful' income earner, is 890 per month.\n\nI pay over 40% into tax system and get nothing in return.\n\nBillions\nare spent on failing 'free healthcare' (which isn't free, it's the highest thing we are taxed on and it sucke), \n\nMillions are spent on welfare state, homeless, drug addicts and criminals.\n\nMassive regulations and taxes are the key drivers of our slowing economy and negative foreign investment.\n\nSocial fragmentation is exasperated by massive immigration and an even more massive housing crises.\n\nPoliticians, lawyers and real estate agencies are to blame.\n\nWe've done this to ourselves. Saying yes to easy money in return to long term pain.\n\nTurning away from oil and other natural resources (commodity based dollar)into becoming a real estate based economy is the final nail in the coffin.\n\nNew immigrants are 32-34% migrant workers and 66-68% dependants. Dependants being peippe NOT paying into tax system. Thus, being a competent and utter burden on our already thinly stretched social services.

I’m a Canadian and I’m ashamed of our prime minister. We have a drug problem in Canada. We shouldn’t legalize drugs here. Just look at our Hastings st in Vancouver. Trump has ever right to do this to us and we have to ban all drugs here

goddamn americans quit using the goddamn drug.

How ironic that Comrade Krasnov Trump, one of the 1980s underworld drug bosses, blames Canada for Fentanyl trafficking.

Blaming other countries for your drug addicted society is wild

It’s Americans using drugs,

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

Mr Tradeu has ignored all issues. Fentanyl, border, trade and other. Did nothing. Same as Mexico, the cartels, drugs, trade. Allowing Chinese companies to use Mexico as go through to USA.

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

Keep the drugs on your side of the border. Don’t you get cranky with us!

Illegal drugs has nothing to do with what Trump is doing. Trump loves to stir up the shit pot. He knows nothing else. He his incapable of learning till the riots starts

This is amazing. This prime minster talks as if Canada did nothing wrong and US decided to bully them for no reason. If everything's fine and dandy, we wouldn't have done this. Trump did what he did because of \n\n1. Drug trafficking from north + illegal emigrants\n2. Unfair trade deficit in times when our national debt is unsustainably high. \n\nWhy so high? Because we've been giving Canada SURPLUS for decades. Can't do that no more because we have to save our country now. Don't mischaracterize this move, fools.

Says Canada has no problems at their border and then goes on for 5 minutes about everything new they're doing to secure the border, stop the flow of drugs, and fight terrorism

maybe tariffs implemented not because of drugs, but just because JD Vance thinks that Canadians were not thankful enough

Isn’t it tragic that Trump is wreaking havoc with the fentanyl excuse by causing economic harm to Canada and Mexico while having an addict billionaire doing weird drugged out gestures while destroying the government and Americans’ lives on land, air and sea! Nero trump and Caligula Musk…just so dystopian!
